Could Falcons Pursue a Trade for Tre'Quan Smith?
 
I can't see this within the division, but ...

Well, I believe you have to at least listen to every offer... but I can't see helping out a division rival either.

Unless the Saints feel they have the depth to spare him and the Falcons offer a decent draft pick.

Personally I think it's just a bogus clickbait rumor, but interesting discussion. Perhaps one of the TE's could fill the hole he'd leave. None of the WR's brought in through free agency or draft had a comparable skillset.

I’d take a hot-pocket and a used bandaid.

Why … Do the Failclowns need a semi permanent player on Injured Reserve List.

I have wanted to see us cut 3Q for years, but I've come to the conclusion that until we can find a better blocker than our rookie class he's got value to the Saints. The last game showed why 3Q is still on the roster. No one else can block! :awe:

He was a better blocker than the vets they brought in, too ... Washington and Edwards.

Trequan Smith had 0 quality blocks this preseason. There is a reason the position is called wide receiver not wide blocker. He is inconsistent as a receiver. He can't stay healthy. Every receiver we have blocked better than him this preseason because they played. I would be willing to trade him to the Falcons for a 2025 7th round pick and send back a conditional 6th round pick to the Falcons if Smith plays at least 30% of their offensive snaps against us this year. I would do anything possible to put him in a Falcons uniform.

I’d take a bag of sammiches to help feed Peat for Tre.

The one thing I will disagree with in your post bako is your point about him staying healthy. Compared to the amount of injuries we’ve had at other wide receiver options like Thomas and Jarvis Landry, etc. Smith has been very available. There were games when he was our best option even last year, when Olave was out with his concussions. I don’t think it’s necessarily his blocking that keeps him on the team, it’s the fact that he’s the one receiver that we’ve had consistently that knows the system. It is available to play over the last five years.
